BOTOSHANI (Botosani)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 305 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BOS-BRI
BOTOSHANI (Botosani) , the
capital
  of the department of Botoshani, Rumania; on a small tributary of the river Jijia, and in one of the richest agricultural and
pastoral
  regions of the north Moldavian hills. Pop. (1900) 32,193. Botoshani is commercially important as the town through which goods from Poland and
Galicia
  pass in transit for the
south
 ; being situated on a branch railway between Dorohoi and on the main line from Czernowitz to Galatz. It has extensive
starch
  and flour mills; and Botoshani flour is highly prized in Rumania, besides being largely exported to Turkey and the United Kingdom. Botoshani owes its name to a Tatar
chief
 , Batus or Batu
Khan
 , grandson of Jenghiz
Khan
 , who occupied the country in the 13th century. There are large colonies of Armenians and
Jews
 .
BO-TREE, or BODHI-TREE, the name given by the Buddhists of India and Ceylon to the Pipul or sacred wild fig (Ficus religiosa). It is regarded as sacred, and one at least is planted near each temple. These are traditionally supposed to be derived from the
original
  one, the Bodhi-tree of Buddhist annals, beneath which the Buddha is traditionally supposed to have attained perfect knowledge. The Bo-tree at the ruined city of Anuradhapura, 8o m. north of Kandy, grown from a branch of the parent-tree sent to Ceylon from India by King Asoka in the 3rd century B.c., is said to have been planted in 288 B.c., and is to this day worshipped by throngs of pilgrims who come long distances to pray before it. Usually a bo-tree is planted on the
graves
  of the Kandy priests.
